How Does Your Garden Grow - Autumn Joy

A cold wind is blowing and I shiver as I stand at my back door sipping my hot, morning coffee. A coffee I know I shouldn't be drinking for health reasons, but I am struggling to give up my guilty indulgence, especially as we hit a chilly spell.

I wander down to the bottom of the garden and admire the Sedum's. They are in their prime at this time of year as they pop pink prettiness in a garden full of fallen brown rusty leaves. I decide that I will plant more of these beauties, maybe out the front, up against the picket fence or possibly surrounding Bertha, the caravan. I think Bertha would like them. They will sit perfectly at her feet and as pink is her favourite colour, I'm sure it will make her very happy and also her passer by's, as they often give her a sidewards glance, a nod and a nostalgic smile. Oh yes, they will make Bertha very happy indeed.

So many lovely deep colours about at the moment but the reds have to be my favourites. Super chilly here too, at first I thought it was just me but it seems that everyone is cold this morning. Any excuse to fire up the woodburner I say. I too have a large cup of coffee here which I shouldn't really drink - hampers my iron tablet intake, but sometimes you just need a warm cup of hug x

Thanks for sharing and joining in, and may I say Bertha is looking mighty fine still x

It will be Katie, I just need to stop for a while while I have an adrenaline test, coffee effects the result. Its not easy though, plus doc has said I should stick to no more than 2 a day in future. 2 Cups is just torture, lol! x

I love Sedums, they are so fabulous at this time of year. I also love Bertha and would love one like her in my garden! Than. You for the comments on my blog redesign too, I have Annie to thank for that, I am really happy with it :) x

Thanks, yes Bertha is so happy, she makes me smile. Hubby is working on the summerhouse as I write. He has fitted the electrics, heating and is now plaster boarding. I'l be very happy when its finished x
